That brings to 3 the total of “Christians” on this thread that refuse to answer the question. I find this very telling. I will be offering my Rosary tonight for all three of you and any others that feel the same way.

You mean this wasn't a rhetorical question?

Are you so jaded that you don't feel he deserves the same protection afforded other world leaders?

If that IS your question, the Scripture I posted SHOULD have been a good enough answer and it sounds as if this Pope gets it, too. Do you get it that if a person is in the will of God that there is NOTHING that can happen to him that God does not permit for His own perfect will? That there is nothing that we need to fear if we are following after righteousness and to live to honor and glorify God? Nobody is talking about recklessness or "testing" God, but everyone should realize that God protects His own. Now, if you don't really believe that the Pope is a man of God, then, I guess, you ought to worry about crazies out in the world that would want to harm him. It sounds to me, though, that he is confident in the Lord. Perhaps his example will spread to the rest of the Catholic world.

....” It sounds to me, though, that he is confident in the Lord. Perhaps his example will spread to the rest of the Catholic world”......

Sounds that way to me as well...He has been interesting to follow as HE goes about cleaning house. Surely He has many within who oppose Him. I believe HE is guarding himself MORE from those within than any without.. in order to make the changes He’s attempting.

Noted early on his frequent change of venue as he set his day...and also his place of residence. He has his own way of getting things done and seems to be confusing those who would dictate to him what is what....purposefully.

There’s a new Pope in town and he isn’t following those who have had the wheel....and he’s choosing his fights carefully.
